I haven’t worn boots in years but decided I wanted a quote “combat” style boot. The choice was between these and the HD Diversion boot. The three factors leading me to chose the Elson boot were 1) fewer Harley Davidson emblems, 2) slightly higher than the Diversion boot. 3) Velco strap to hold the zipper down/in place.

The boots fit as expected and are comfortable enough without inserts. Just for fun I put some Dr. Scholls Gel inserts in…They aren’t there for fun now, they’re staying. The insert took a good feeling boot to an outstanding feeling boot. Great boot, high quality leather, stitching and sole. Would definitely purchase again. No wonder this style boot has been around a while.
